Feminist Mob Invades Catholic Church, Unfurls Pro-Abortion Banner on Altar

Pro-abortion feminists are not happy that the European Parliament rejected a bill that would have called abortion a human right. In response, in protest, they invaded a local Catholic church in Italy and unfurled a pro-abortion banner on the church’s altar.

“A group of pro-abortion feminists have invaded the Catholic cathedral in Bologna, Italy, to protest against the rejection by the European Parliament of the pro-abortion Estrela report,” says John Smeaton, the head of the British pro-life group Society for the Protection of Unborn Children. “The protesters unfurled a pro-abortion banner in front of the cathedral’s sanctuary. Cardinal Carlo Caffara, Bologna’s archbishop, had called upon the European Parliament to reject the Estrela report.”

A Catholic blog has more on what happened:

A group of militant feminists profaned the Cathedral of San Petronio in Bologna this past Monday. Masked with hoods that recall the extreme left-wing Russian Anarchists, abortion and aberrosexual activists protested against the rejection of the Estrela Report by the European Parliament. Before the altar, the Church opponents unfurled a banner reading: “You Occupy the Counseling Centers – We Fill the Churches” and shouted in chorus: “Get the Church Out of Our Ovaries.”

The radical feminist group unloaded their protest by desecration of the Diocesan Cathedral Church of Bologna. It blames the Church for the rejection of the Estrela Report. The Archbishop of Bologna, Cardinal Carlo Caffarra had asked the MPs ahead of the vote in the European Parliament to vote no.

Claiming that a ban on abortion is misogynistic because women will die from illegal abortions conducted in back rooms is part of the standard repertoire of the abortion lobby, which has long since been debunked as a propaganda lie. Recently, the militant attacks of fanatical supporters of abortion on Catholic churches accumulate.

For the second time in two months, the European Parliament rejected a report that recommended that EU nations declare abortion to be a human right and to make abortion available within all public health systems of member countries. Adoption of the report would have placed more pressure on pro-life nations like Ireland, Poland and Malta to legalize abortion on demand.

The proposal was rejected in Strasbourg today and instead an alternative report proposed by the European People’s Party was adopted by 334 to 327 votes.

How dare the European Parliament attempt to do such a thing.

Announcing abortion a human right is Obama's job.

Why did they desecrate a Catholic Church when it’s the “European Parliament” (whatever that is) that didn’t accede to their demands?

Baby Butchering inside the womb, only advocated by women who have already been safely born! If they were in the womb, and being chopped to pieces and suctioned out, and had a voice, a choice, they would all choose LIFE

There’s no penalty for assaulting a Christian church.

Were they at least topless?

Nevermind... I'd probably want to mash the UNSEE button repeatedly.

That’s not just “a local church” in Balogna. San Petonio is an incredible 15th century Cathedral (although begun in the 1300’s). Most people would know it as the location of Cassini’s Sundial. Which is a meridian line in the floor made famous (unfortunately) by Dan Brown’s epic tin-foil worthy Catholic-bashing conspiracy theory novel DaVinci Code.

the ugliness of abortion has proven to be a stumbling block to my creative muse.

ugliness in general is that great a hurdle....as evidenced by the sizable number of posters of The Great Leader in various guises..ive posted .but somehow abortion..saddens me to such a degree...my wit fails me.

Thankfully at least in Russia, bi7ches like this get put in their place. In Italy, they’ll get away with it.

Thanks Morgana.

It is irritating that Catholics would let such a desecration to their cathedral happen without resistance. I would hope that a large number would grab these women and physically kick them out. If the men are too timid or proud, then the Catholic women should do it.

That’s not just “a local church” in Balogna.

I hate it when they do that. Sounds like an exorcism is in order.

the Catholic Church has been puting up with this nonsense for over 2,000 years...she will be just fine, and the church damage was probably insured, so who did they hurt???
